Your Answer for Question 3: y = a.a + a.b + a.not(b) Since a.a = a, (idempotent law) y = a + a.b + a.not(b) Since a.b + a.not(b) = a.(b + not(b)), (distributive) y = a + a.(b + not(b)) By complementarity, (b + not(b) = 1), y = a + a.(1) By Identity (a.1 = a) y = a + a Since a+a = a, (idempotent law) y = a Done!
